The Leasedrive Velo Group has appointed Joe Howick to the newly created position of rental management director at its rental management division where he was previously sales director.

Leasedrive's commercial director Roddy Graham said Howick had been a driving force behind the development of the company's rental management division. He praised Howick's knowledge of the rental market and sales skills, which had helped secure "three framework agreements from Buying Solutions, positioning us as a one-stop shop solution for any Government or public sector department looking to outsource its fleet or rental management requirements."
